Well they won't actually phrase it like that. They view the Moon's Redness as imperfect as Yelm's obedience to the cycles of Night and Day. Something which is magnificient enough as is but will be Even Better when the World is restored to its Proper Form.

The Broken Council Writeups do speak of the Scarlet Bat. I suppose it changed its colour slightly after being bound by the Red Goddess into the Lunar Cycles.

That's the Pelorian Hill Barbarians. They believe the White Moon cannot rise until the Red Moon is pulled down. The White Moonies are so spaced out on Hazia that they probably believe this as well. The Official Lunar Doctrine is that the Red Moon will become White when her worship has been accepted by the Whole World (which according to the Lunar PoV appears to be West-Central Genertela).

Well look at this way. Ever wonder why the winters in Peloria are getting less severe? It's getting warmer! She's far away in the sky that her radiations have little effect on those in Glorantha whereas those Heroes who walk on the surface of the Moon are adpated to live in her full glory. Lesser mortals have their brains cooked (which manifests as madness) if they get too close...
